Safety: Raw apple is one of the most common choking foods in babies — hard and it snaps into chunks. Under twelve months, apple is cooked soft or finely grated, never in raw pieces.
Storage: Fridge 3 days, freezer 1 month.
Tip: A sweet eating apple needs no sugar. Cooking apples do, which is why the recipe does not use them.
